Justice Khokhar was among the judges who took oath under the Provisional Constitutional Order (PCO) after Gen (retd) Pervez Musharraf\u00a0 declared a state of emergency in 2007. In 2008, he served as the acting chief election commissioner of Pakistan.\u00a0 In 2009, then-President Asif Ali Zardari accepted his resignation, along with that of Justice M Javaid Buttar, after both judges faced the prospect of being questioned by the Supreme Judicial Council for taking oath under the PCO.\u00a0 In 2020, he served as an independent adjudicator to hear cricketer Umar Akmal\u2019s appeal in a spot-fixing case. Akmal had been found guilty of violating Article 2.4.4 of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Anti-Corruption Code in two separate incidents.
